fma is full of lessons...
and one piece, although it's really fantasy-based and very humorous, you could also learn something like---the strength of the bonds of true friendship...
Same with naruto and bleach,.
Nodame has made quite an impact on me...makes me really regret why i didnt pursue what i loved to do.... urgh...

Hehe, i'm not an otaku :P But i do have some anime habits i just unconsciously do. The only 1 i can remember right now is that expression they do in anime where they have to listen to someone talk the same thing over and over again...and then i go "Here we go again..."

The expressions I got from anime will have to be smiling at others with my eyes closed... I suddenly just started doing that when I began watching anime long ago.
I know smiling with your eyes closed id weird but I can't seem to stop..

ohh..I've got quite a lot..
...but recently i like to do some stupid stuff like YUI..
..taking some grands and slap my face(it reminds me of her..so i start laughing..i now..I'm crazy)..
....but that's just my resent one..
...I'm using words like ANYA and other expressions as well though..
..and my way of thinking about some stuff

I dunno if i made the right title...
But let me explain what I'm getting at...
Have you taken something you saw from an Anime
and applied it at real life? It could be a gesture...
A habit... Quotes?, or even a Fashion sense...
Anything....

For example in my case....

When I was a kid... I watched Slam Dunk...
And there was an episode... Where
Sakuragi was taught the " Evil Eye "
which is just Staring into somebody or something
with Killing intent... or something...
It's used to intimidate...
I got into Basketball too... I grew tall for some reason...

Now I'm like Takasu Ryuuji... From ToraDora
I may look like a delinquent... But I'm actually a nice guy...
My eyes became scary because of constantly glaring at others...

There was this incident where i just finished Rozen Maidens and 1 point when i was riding a Jeepney(Public transport vehicle)
And I accidentally said " Desu "

In Tagalog what i said was..." Bayad po DESUU~~ "
(It is the act of giving payment for riding)
The driver gave me a weird smile afterwards... o_O

Haha, same here, when I was riding a bus, then I said to the conductor: "sa may UST lang po, DESU. Galing lang po ng fairview, da." (going to UST, from Fairview)
that was embarrassing,

Ohh, that reminds me, Takasu Ryuuji is the best role model that you may actually apply in normal life!! I tried imitating him, tried doing cleaning, always thinking of the happiness of others before yourself. Now the people around me always give me a positive feedback, like "man, you've changed, you've changed for the better", I thank you Ryuuji, You're the BEST

I also apply the Japanese omens, like a picture frame cracking as a bad omen... I rarely use spoon and fork now too, most of the time chopsticks!... And I also apply Kushieda Minori's motto in my life, "Blow away your weakness!!" ^^,. I memorize some anime quotes to widen my philosophy,
